Wireless N Router Model # WRT150N

I currently have the G series Router and Super Booster. I want to purchase the new N series Router and want to know if it has a compatibel Booster, does it need one, and/or can I use my Wireless G Router Speed Booster with it?
Thanks

you don't need a booster on an N-series router... it already have a higher speed... what you can do to get an optimum speed that the router supports, obtain an N-series wireless adapter/card as well...

  • Hi, I have a wireless linksys router model WRT54G. what i...

    Hi, I have a wireless linksys router model WRT54G. what i want to do it´s configure a network in my home. I have 2 pc´s, a laptop an a desktop. what I should do to be able to share files,music,videos. between both computers? the laptop has Windows Vista, the desktop has Windows XP Professional. could you give me more details? step by step.   thank you really much.

    its really simple to set up a network, first make sure that all computers are in the same workgroup by right clicking on my computer, then properities, then computer name.
    there you can make the setting for the work group
    do not use the default one, create your own, do this for each computer.
    next thing is to choose any folder that you want to share and right click on it, select sharing, then check the two boxes to share this folder and the other one to allow others to make changes to this folder.
    doing this bypasses the trouble od setting up passwords for right now.
    you should not have the network up and running with folders being shared with all in that workgroup.
    you may want to check the manual for vesta as it may do things a bit differant that xp
    you could also run the create a network wizard in the xp system. 

  • Update Firmware on Linksys Wireless N Router? (WRT150N)

    I have noticed there is a newer version of the firmware for my router. Is it necessary to upgrade to the newest firmware? If for some reason it does not work correctly is it easy to reset the modem to the original firmware? If I install it will it erase my current wpa2 pass key?
    It is recommended that I update the firmware or should I leave it as it is? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
    Message Edited by Deluxe8520 on 06-26-2007 11:24 AM

    The only times that you need to upgrade firmware is:
    1)  when a router security issue is fixed, or
    2)  when a new feature it added to the router that you want to use, or
    3)  when router is not working, and all other attempts to fix it have failed
    So, if your router is working properly, and there are no security fixes, and nothing new in the firmware that you need, then you do not need to upgrade the firmware, and you probably should not do it.
    I always look at the firmware "version info" to determine if I want to upgrade to a new firmware.  I looked at the info for the WRT150N, and I don't see any security fixes, or new features, so that only leaves item 3 as a possible reason to upgrade.
    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults.  Doing this will wipe out your WPA2 key, and all other settings.  After a firmware upgrade and reset to factory defaults, you should set the router up again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    You can return to an earlier firmware, using the same procedure as a firmware upgrade, but to do it, you must have a copy of that firmware on your computer.   The router's copy of that old firmware will be wiped out when you upgrade, so you cannot depend on the router to keep a copy of the old firmware.

  • Does a NETGEAR - Wireless-N Router work with a the dell mini g card?

    I want to purchase a dell laptop with a dell mini g card. Will the Netgear Wireless-N Router Model- WNR2000 work with it? It's extra for the dell mini n card. I don't want to have to pay extra for that if I don't have to. Thanks

    Unless you are transferring a large amount of data between computers or a media device attached to a home theater system, wireless N is merely going to give you better range.

  • Need more range re. WRT150N wireless home router

    Need more range re. WRT150N wireless home router. Am using this with a WPC54GS ver2 PCMCIA Linksys notebook adapter. I am trying to reach my garage, and I only get 6 more feet of range with this N router, before loss of signal, over my old WRT54G Ver.5 wireless router. I need about another 30 feet with a good signal. Solutions ? PS. Don't need advice ie. "relocate router".

    make sure no interference in between , such as Cordless , Oven etc.
    If u First , can access the routers set up web user interface , then try scrolling the channels . means changing and trying ur network again.
    secondly , Decrease the beacon interval to 75 , Fragmentation and RTS threshold - decrease them by 42 points.
    Note: youll find these settings , under advance wireless settings Tab. 
    Power cycle.
    observe the connection.
    if stilll no luck ! then
    Go for WAP4400N , its A wireless access point for N series Router.

    Re:  Wireless network, router WRT150N.  Recently installed in network.
    My son is having trouble with his World of Warcraft latency.  It starts off excellent but tanks in about 10 secs after he starts playing.  I've concluded it must be something with the router.  I've tried most of the WoW fixes for latency, but I get same behaviour. 
    I note some other message threads of same problem, but no fixes.  Anybody help?

    Log into 192.168.1.1 on your browser (no username, password is admin). Set the MTU to manual and change the size to 1400. Check WoW documentation for tcp/udp ports that need to be opened on the router.
    Keep us posted! (",)

  • IPhone 3G won't connect to D-Link DIR-655 Wireless N Router

    My wife and I picked up iPhone 3Gs last week, and we got home and instantly had issues connecting to our home's Wi-Fi. I assumed at first it was an iPhone issue, but think it's likely more an issue with my router. The router is brand new (two months old). I have updated the firmware to the most current (version 1.11). Both iPhones apparently connect to the router (they show Wi-Fi bars and it shows full strength), however, when I attempt to access the iTunes store, I got an error that it fails to connect, that I need to be connected to via Wi-Fi to access. I've tried everything with the router I can think of (turning of wireless security, using only WPA vs. WPA2, and having a very simple password). With each setting, it shows the phone is connected, but iTunes says I'm not. I've successfully connected to 5 other wi-fi routers without issue. Some have similar settings to my home router. Other router models I've connected to include Linksys, Trendnet, and D-Link. However, none of those have been a N router. I set my DIR-655 to work only in the wireless b and g range only, reset networking on my phones, but still doesn't work. I just don't know if there's something I'm overlooking on the settings that might keep the devices from working properly together. Any thoughts.

    If it works on other networks it is most likely a compatible issue with your router (as you have surmised). Do you have MAC filtering enabled on your router? If so, have you entered the MAC address of the phone (In Settings/General/About it is called WiFi Address).
    When you are connected to your router go to Settings/WiFi and tap the arrow to the right of the network name. Look at the IP address of the phone. If its pattern is 169.254.x.y this means your router is not assigning an IP address to the phone. That is almost certainly a router issue.
    Next look at the DNS address. Is it the same as the DNS address on your other computers? As an experiment try changing it to a public DNS address like the ones provided by OpenDNS (www.opendns.com), 208.67.222.222.

  • I recently bought an external hard drive and attached it to a wireless modem router. The problem is that i can't access it from my macbook. I get a "connection failed" and "the server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally".

    Well I believe I described the problem above. I want only to add that the external hard drive is a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Drive 1TB and the wireless modem router is a Belkin N Plus (model F5D8635-4 v1). Also, in the finder window under "shared" I see a "belkinserver" and when I click it, it says "connection failed". If I click "connect as" I get the "the server "belkinserver" is available on your computer..." which I mentioned above. I tried to connect macbook via ethernet to the modem router and then when I typed "smb://belkinserver" it immediately prompted me for a username and a password and when I typed them finally I got to enter the contents of the hard drive! So what's the problem wirelessly? 

    If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
    Cheapest option:
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
    If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
    Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
    Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

  • Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router Not working

    I have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router and it has worked good for a couple months and yesterday it stopped. When I plug it in all the lights are lit even though there arent any ethernet cables connected and the power light blinks constantly. I tried holding the reset button on the back and it didnt help. Anyone know whats wrong or anything I can try to fix it?

    You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Wireless B router

    I have a Wireless-B router (BEFW11S4 v.4).  I have to reset numerous times daily as the internet connection is lost.  There are no firmware updates available.  The router is approximately 9 years old.  Do I just need to purchase a new router?

    I just went to the Linksys site and there is no available firmware for that model. Did you check your connection directly from the modem if it's stable? You have to check that first to isolate your case.

  • Trying to use Wireless-G Router w/ Mac OSx (WRT54G2)

    Hi,
    I just got a Linksys Wireless-G Router, to use with my Apple MacBook laptop. I got the laptop new back in January '08, and the router is new as of today. The Model Number is: WRT54G2.
    I have a Windows desktop PC that I have been using at home, it has a cable modem connection through my cable company (external modem).
    When I tried putting in the installation CD for the router today into my Mac, it didn't show up (the CD did, but the programs wouldn't start). I came to the Linksys website, and saw that the Wireless-G Router's CD only works on Windows (I have Windows XP on this desktop I'm using right now for Internet.) But, of course, the laptop that I want to use the wireless connection with, is a Mac.
    I don't currently use the Internet on my Mac at home (only at places like the library with free WiFi access).... so I don't currently have my Mac plugged into any kind of modem whatsoever right now.
    The help wizard on the website is so confusing. I am just wondering....how on earth can I possibly get my Mac laptop using the Linksys Wireless-G router system?? Where do I plug the blue ethernet cable into, etc.? I can't use the Installation CD on my Mac, so it says manual installation is required, but I dont know what to do.
    I would reallly appreciate anyone's help! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

     Access the setup page of the router by launching an
    Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
    it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
    empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
    click on ok.
    On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
    on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
    button.
    Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
    - Click on enable
    Click Clone & click save settings
    Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
    If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
    If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address .....

  • Recommend Wireless Cable ROUTER Recommendations

    Can anyone recommend a good wireless Cable router for use in California?
    I've given up trying to get a new LINKSYS Wireless-G WRT544 (and new LINKSYS Cable Modem BEFCMU10) to work here.
    The specific problem: My 20MB-100MB .mov Quicktime movies consistantly stall while viewing them on the internet.
    I have very tediously ruled out all cables, browsers, workstations.
    The problem duplicates: Mac>LinksysModem (no router).
    The problem clears using Mac>BestModem (no router).
    The problem returns Mac>BestModem>LinksysRouter (reset to default with new firmware).
    I have given up on the Linksys brand.
    My Asante wireless router used to work right, but I think it has began failing and I am trying to replace it.
    Comments appreciated...

    Interesting recommendation...
    I typoed my original post.
    The Linksys router I returned today was a WRT54G v5 with new firmware: 1.00.2
    (I was not bold enough to add on "Alchemy Firmware" but thanks for the tip).
    UPDATE:
    I returned the Linksys Router and Linksys cabel modem.
    I hooked up a new Motorola cable modem SURFboard® model SB5120 and instantly got my movie speed back (same as with my old BestData CMX110).
    I have deduced that:
    1) The Linksys modem was the problem (since I had the problem plugged directly into it), and
    2) The Linksys router was the problem (since the problem returned when I plugged the router into a properly-functioning BestData modem).
    Again, I should add I did all the hardware, software resetting to default, including turning everything off and back on in proper sequence.
    I am currently running off my old Asante router, looking into the new routers (Apple router seems pretty expensive at $200).
    The http://www.jerrykindall.com/2005/06/23the_routerking.asp was especially useful (the D-Link DGL-4300 GamerLounge sound impressive, but at $300 may more than I need).

  • Non-Wireless Capable Router/Modem for Xfinity???

    Non-Wireless Capable Router/Modem for Xfinity/Comcast???
    Apologies up front since I’m sure I have the terminology wrong, but here’s the situation:
    Currently we have a modem (or router or cable-modem, I don’t know the difference) that we rent from Xfinity/Comcast. It is a Model DHG536C, Thomson RCA. I’m pretty sure (but not 100% sure) that this doesn’t have any wireless signal emanating from it. On one side of this box is a cable TV type connector from the outside world, and on the other is an Ethernet-type cable.
    The Ethernet-type cable goes from this Comcast box to our Apple Airport Extreme. This is the 6th generation model ME918LL/A 802.11AC.  From the Airport Extreme we send internet access to Apple devices through the house, both via wireless and also cables (USB and Ethernet).
    Comcast sent us a “free” replacement modem (we rent the modem from them) a year or two ago so that we could take advantage of some new capabilities they installed on our line (don’t know specifically what they were, but possibly speedier access). However, the install was a bit of a nightmare since the replacement they sent also emitted a wireless signal and there were issues between the wireless emitted between by their new modem versus our Airport Extreme. Comcast is justifiably not renowned for their customer support, and given my lack of computer knowledge, I couldn’t figure it out. So we returned the upgrade modem and stayed with our old one.
    We are now getting requests from Comcast to throw out our old modem and install another new one. So here’s the question: can we get a modem that doesn’t emit a wireless signal, that just converts the cable signal from outside the house into an Ethernet cable that we can plug into our Airport Extreme? That way we shouldn’t run into any of the issues we had last time.
    And two related questions:
    Will this noticeably speed up our internet service? We’re actually happy with what we have right now but perhaps we are just used to it.
    Can I buy this new modem on Amazon or from Apple to bypass Comcast (to get rid of the monthly rental fee, and to get something that may have better customer support)?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    And any teaching/education about the proper name for the Comcast “box” without wireless, and our Airport Extreme would be fun as well (router, modem, cable-modem, etc).
    Thank you!

    So here’s the question: can we get a modem that doesn’t emit a wireless signal, that just converts the cable signal from outside the house into an Ethernet cable that we can plug into our Airport Extreme?
    Simple modems do exist, but the question would be whether one of them would be compatible with the Comcast service.  So, you really have a question for Comcast support here.
    The question would be whether Comcast can provide a simple modem.........like you have now.......and not a modem/router or gateway type of device, which you really don't need, since you already have a router, and just need a simple modem.
    Will this noticeably speed up our internet service? We’re actually happy with what we have right now but perhaps we are just used to it.
    Possibly, if you are already paying for faster service, but your current modem is not capable of working at higher speeds.  Again, a question for Comcast support here.
    Can I buy this new modem on Amazon or from Apple to bypass Comcast (to get rid of the monthly rental fee, and to get something that may have better customer support)?
    Possibly, if Comcast can provide you with a list of modems that will work with their service.  Apple does not make modems, so they would not be able to help on that product.

  • Netgear DG834G V2 WIRELESS ADSL Router/newbie

    Hello Everyone,
    I have just signed up to eclipse to get broadband.
    I have wanted to go wireless so I picked the
    Netgear DG834G V2 WIRELESS ADSL Router
    This needs to work with Both my PC (Medion/Intel Pentium 4E, 3200 MHz)
    and my Mac (G4 400Mhz OSX) (at the moment they are connected by an ethernet lead).
    Not knowing that Netgear Router doesnt support
    Mac wirelessly but for the pc you can use
    Netgear 802.11G WIRELESS USB Adapter – WG111
    So my problem is what can I use with this
    router so I can use it wirelessly with my Mac
    At the netgear forums I was told I would have to get
    a network adapter is this correct?
    please help...
    http://www.eclipse.net.uk/index.cfm?id=broadbandhardware_res
    L I S T E R

    As Donald said, an AirPort Extreme card will not work in your G4 400 MHz.
    If your G4 400 MHz is a very early model based on the Yikes! architecture, it does not have any internal slot.
    If your G4 400 MHz is based on the Sawtooth architecture, it has a slot for the original AirPort card.
    You can use the information in KB 58418, Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models to determine which Power Mac G4 you have.
    If your Power Mac G4 doesn't have an internal slot or if you can't get an original AirPort card, I would suggest either a Mac compatible PCI wireless card or an Ethernet wireless adapter. The Ethernet wireless adapter does not require any drivers and therefore will work with any Ethernet device regardless of OS.
    Unlike Donald I do not recommend any USB wireless adapters. These require drivers that must match the version of Mac OS that you are using. Frequently these drivers are incompatible with OS X and other software installed on the Mac. Many people have tried them and given up.

  • Linksys Wireless-G router power light not glowing

    Hi,
    I bought my Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mbps Broadband router (Model: WRT54GL) in US. I'm using the same in India for the past couple of months (connected thru 240 to 120v voltage converter). It was working fine until last week. All of the sudden I see the Linksys router power light not glowing at all. Initially I suspected the problem to be with voltage converter, later I figured out that the voltage converter and power adapter to router are working fine. So its the issue with wireless router. Is this a known issue with this model ?. If so how do I fix this ?. Is there a Linksys wireless router service center in Bangalore ?.
    Any help related to this issue would be great.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Siva K.

    Thanks for your immediate response on this issue.
    Well, there is no power to the router at all. So as you mentioned I believe the router is dead. Is there anything we can do now ?.
    Note: This is a pretty new router. I haven't used it much.
